Title

Fried's True Emotions + Madeleine's Guilt - Early Notes

Description

Transcription of a page in AMM's notebook. This is a miscellaneous page and not all sentences directly correlate with the same chapter or plot point.

This page explores Madeleine's guilt of the lie she told and for never telling anyone about Mr. March's assaults, since she now sees sickeningly clearly that he killed Claire. It also demands more character background from Fried, as MacDonald begins to form his motives for defecting and his true opinions and feelings toward the others at Dora, specifically how he is perceived in comparison to people like Von Braun.

Transcription:
() - my best guess of what the phrase / word is
<> - crossed out on the page
[] - indecipherable

Her guilt about lie will begin the [indecipherable] she tells her father what she said + he says good always tell the truth.
People see (Mengle pitching dryer beet) in Oxford County.
Unsubstantiated.
Mad. reads transcripts and feels guilty for not having told about Mr. March because it is sickeningly clear to her that he did it.
Need moment of Mr. March after Rick is arrested or convicted - his fear, relief - he knows he is implicated, terrified of being accused.
When it turns out he had alibi, Mad. gives up on finding out.
Need more from FRIED on what he has been doing in S. Union - why he wanted to <to> defect - his Von Braun resentment + hero worship - his resentment of being seen as a killer when the others are heroes.
